Common use of Guidelines Clause in Contracts

Guidelines. The purpose of the Learning Agreement is to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the study period abroad and to ensure that the student will receive recognition in his/her degree for the educational components successfully completed abroad. It is recommended to use this template. However, if higher education institutions already have an IT system in place to produce the Learning Agreement or the Transcript of Records, they can continue using it. What is important is that all the information requested in this template is provided, no matter in which format (e.g. font size and colours can be modified), provided that it respects certain requirements outlined in the sections below. How to use the Learning Agreement: Before the mobility, it is necessary to fill in page 1 with information on the student, the sending and the receiving institutions and the three parties have to agree on the section to be completed before the mobility. On page 1, most of the information related to the student, sending and receiving organisations will have to be encoded in the Mobility Tool+ (for Capacity Building projects, in the EACEA Mobility Tool). Institutions can decide to add more information (e.g. additional contact person in the coordinating institution of a consortium) or to request less in case some of the information is already provided in other documents internal to the institution. However, it should at least include the names of the two institutions, and names and contact details of the student and persons of contact in both the sending and receiving institutions. The tables to be completed during the mobility (tables Abis and Bbis) should only be used if it is necessary to introduce changes to the original mobility programme. These tables and the section before mobility (tables A and B) should always be kept together in all communications. After the mobility, the receiving institution should send a Transcript of Records to the student and the sending institution (table C). Finally the sending institution should issue a Transcript of Records (table D) to the student or record the results in a database accessible to the student.
